Serena Williams Instagram Post on Olympia's Birthday 2019

Serena Williams Calls Motherhood Her "Greatest Accomplishment" on Olympia's Birthday

Alexis Olympia Ohanian turned two on Sept. 2, and proud mom Serena Williams took the opportunity to reflect on the past couple of years. On Sunday, Serena shared a special photo from Olympia's birth, with husband Alexis Ohanian by her side.

"The last 2 years have been my greatest accomplishment," Serena wrote in the caption. Serena overcame tremendous health difficulties following complications surrounding Olympia's delivery, and later felt penalties put on her tennis career simply for giving birth. She's transparent about the realities of being a working parent and advocates for adequate paternity leave for moms and dads.

Despite these challenges, adorable Olympia clearly brings joy to Serena and Alexis's lives. They share plenty of heartwarming moments, both on the court and on Instagram — where Olympia has her own account. This sweet family teaches us more and more every year, and we're excited to see what the next brings for the Williams-Ohanian crew.
